The Pirate Bay is a website, a search engine, which has an index of torrent files. A lot of copyrighted material is listed on the site, but the site doesn't store any of the copyrighted material. It just points the user to where you can download it from. So for a while The Pirate Bay has been the largest places you can find pirated movies, music, games, and apps. But this site first came up in 2003. And is still up and operation now! You would think someone would shut this place down by now. How does the biggest source for copyrighted material stay up and online for that long? Listen to this episode to find out.

Filming began sometime in 2008, and concluded on 28 February 2012.
The Jolly Roger Cookbook is a digital collection of text files relating to the subjects of theft, computer hacking, the use and creation of explosives, as well as more diverse subjects. It is often confused with, and mistakenly called, The Anarchist's Cookbook, written by William Powell in 1971 as a protest against the Vietnam War. It is also seen by some as a preservation of freedom by providing the tools necessary to combat any government exercising authoritarian or tyrannical power. It was originally transmitted and updated via hundreds of Bulletin Board Systems but can now be found at various sources on the Internet.
Platforms have one overriding goal: to keep us online as long as possible. And they've learned that nothing hooks us like outrage. But here's something many people don't realize: privacy and surveillance have everything to do with it. In this video I want to explore how surveillance is the key to polarization and how, ultimately, it's the engine that makes platform-driven polarization work.

Peter Mandelson is a case study in the British media's inability to properly scrutise people in power. He's a case study in the unhealthy, cosy, closed world of the British political media class.

Google plans to begin testing its recently announced verification scheme for Android developers in the coming weeks, but there's still precious little information on how the process will work. F-Droid, the free and open source app repository, isn't waiting for the full rollout to take a position. In a blog post, F-Droid staff say that Google's plan to force devs outside Google Play to register with the company threatens to kill alternative app stores like F-Droid.

Nearly two months since the release of GPT-5, an update to ChatGPT that was supposed to give it "PhD level" intelligence and bring it once step closer to the industry's vaunted goal of artificial general intelligence (AGI), the OpenAI chatbot is still going bizarrely haywire over simple and completely innocuous inquiries.
A number of shocking revelations have come to light thanks to the Labour Leaks scandal. These include high-level Labour staffers apparently seeking to undermine both the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn and the party’s election campaign in 2017.

Mark Zuckerberg's MetaConnect 2025 keynote on Wednesday quickly turned into a humiliating experience.
What we're witnessing in Gaza is not just another chapter of Zionism - it's the final stage. That's the argument of Israeli historian Ilan Pappé, who joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches to explain how Zionism is in fact "collapsing" even in its most ruthless moment. He discusses Israeli society is fracturing from within, the impact of Trump's return, Israel's widening regional war, and what a post-Israel Palestine could look like.
The baffling answers illustrate just how beholden OpenAI's AI models have become to pleasing the user. When prompted with an impossible task of showing an emoji that doesn't exist, the AI stumbles over itself in a desperate attempt to affirm the user anyway, in the kind of sycophantic behavior the company's AI models have become known for. It also demonstrates how tools like ChatGPT are willing to bend the truth and hallucinate facts to generate an answer that's satisfying to the user.
Kiwix is a multi-platform content browser that is designed to support offline access to large content websites, like Wikipedia or Stack Overflow, in under-developed countries. These sites have a significant amount of content, and are invaluable for researchers, professionals, or hobbyists. Offline access guarantees that the wealth of knowledge they contain is available in unpredictable circumstances, or when online access is not guaranteed, such as during power outages, long airplane trips, remote ventures, etc. More importantly, to the paranoid data hoarder, Kiwix offers an opportunity to scratch the itch of possessing the Library of Alexandria, served from a spare budget computer squirreled away in the dark corner of your basement.
In a shocking display of political violence, 31-year-old conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while he was speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Since then, right-wing commentators have begun to hammer familiar targets: universities supposedly corrupting the youth with liberal indoctrination, campus administrators who failed to protect free speech, and leftist online communities and a transgender individual allegedly connected to the accused shooter.

Throughout the history of hacker culture, elevators have played a key role. From the mystique of students at MIT taking late-night rides upon car tops to the work of modern pen testers who use elevators to bypass building security systems, these devices are often misunderstood and their full range of features and abilities go unexplored. This talk isan in-depth explanation of how elevators work, allowing for greater understanding, system optimizing, and the subversion of security in many facilities.

I don't know what exactly I was expecting when I opened Request No. 1, the PDF file containing the contents of Jeffrey Epstein's 50th-birthday book. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend and co-conspirator, created the book in 2003 by soliciting tributes from the financier's friends and associates. Given the crimes Epstein was convicted of, I steeled myself before scrolling. Somehow, my internet-addled imagination failed me. This book is a nightmare.

The Brave web browser has carved out a niche over the past few years as an alternative to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other mainstream web browsers. Some of that has come from its marketing as a privacy-preserving web browser, and it has also been repeatedly evangelized by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
The German Federal Supreme Court (BGH) has put into question the very legitimacy of ad blockers. The court is now investigating whether these programs - which, by default, block certain elements of a website - can be qualified as copyright infringement.
What really happened? Chris Gunness is the former chief spokesman of UNRWA and founder of the Myanmar Accountability Project.
They say that power doesn't corrupt, it reveals. Once a guy like Joe Rogan, the Comedy Czar, grabs hold of the reins of power, he can wield his power in any number of directions. We examine humanity's innate instinct to migrate, and where we head when there is nowhere else to go. How can the nature of subjective reality be leveraged and exploited. The complex psychological mechanisms behind the current comedy era. The powerful cult behind the destruction of everything that was ever good. Hyperreality, classic reality. And the cycles.
Canadian photojournalist Valerie Fink publicly resigned from Reuters in a now-viral tweet, in protest of the outlet's coverage of her colleagues assassinated by Israel. Reuters ran a story claiming Anas Al-Sharif, whose work for Reuters won the outlet a Pulitzer Prize, was a Gaza militant with zero evidence, and that was the breaking point for Valerie Fink. "Even if that were true - which it wasn't - you bomb a hospital and kill 20 people to target a camera? It's a travesty. It's unforgivable." She tells BT's Rania Khalek this is because the Reuter's "has never cared about Palestinian lives, Black lives, or Indigenous lives. Their priority is profit."
The United States is a rogue nation spurred on by rogue companies in Silicon Valley and beyond that are intent on using the power at their disposal to extract maximum short-term benefit regardless of the long-term cost.

The ones built into Pelican-style shipping containers are particularly attractive, and it's hard to argue against their practicality. But when Hans Jørgen Grimstad, who somehow just sounds like a person who should be building cyberdecks, found a new-old-stock stash of US Army Signal Corps spare parts kits from the 1950s, designation CY-684/GR, he just had to spring into action.
Having murdered 313 journalists in 690 days, Israel is committing the worst journalist mass-murder spree in human history. |
